United Kingdom media Metro reported that Trump, who had just won the Saudi Masters, praised the members of the 75 and 92 classes in snooker football. Trump said that O'Sullivan, Williams and Higgins always say that they are going downhill, but in fact they will still be at their peak in the next 5-10 years.

In the first Saudi Masters, Trump defeated Williams 10-9 in the final and won his 29th ranking tournament title, which also surpassed Davis and ranked fourth all-time. At the same time, the victory in this competition allowed Trump to receive a championship bonus of 500,000 pounds. After the game, Williams admitted, "I didn't do anything wrong in the game, but Trump showed us what a real champion is." ”
For Williams, an opponent who is 14 years older than himself, Trump expressed his respect in an interview. "O'Sullivan, Williams and Higgins, always nitpicking, saying that they are going downhill. But I've never seen anyone else attack like Williams on the long ball the whole game. Trump said.
"I think in terms of the situation of these three guys, they are far ahead of the others, and their level is here," Trump said. They're able to push the envelope, they might show a little bit of a dip, but they're still incredible players and my personal opinion is that at least the next 5-10 years, the three of them will be at the top of the sport. ”
"All three of them are really fantastic, it's kind of weird that they're all in the same era at the same time. I also don't think they will go downhill quickly in the next 5-10 years, and their name will still appear in the top 16 in the world. Trump said that in the snooker world, these three veterans are still insisting and will continue to persist.
